Misty: That's it. Do the homework. Learn the spellings. I'll make you so smart, Skip.
Loudred: Don't make the kid regret asking and - why are you in a swimsuit? Oh Misty did you sneak out? I'm proud!
Misty: I was back at 8, just in time for Haunter's bedtime and to help guide Skip through.
Loudred: Can't win em all then.
Raj: Looks like I still got it! And that they need more cake.
Raj we DON'T. Good to see you tho.
Haunter: This is bullshit.
You broke it.
Haunter: Did I really? Either way isn't this an adult's domain?
You're growing up today I'm pretty sure.
Loudred: Mmm...this is good...to taste, I mean. Just the one sip.
Anika: Why do you have to do this at seven in the morning?
Skiploom: OMG I can finally get food on my own.
Haunter: Those are my coffee ingredients! What are you doing? I'll beat you into the ground.
Skiploom: Er...Mum?
Haunter: Nope! You're responsible, aren't you, that's what you said!
Misty: I understand you lot made a mess.
Haunter: I am of the understanding that if he does it again I'll mop it up with his face.
Anika:...Looks like nobody is cleaning it up I suppose.
Misty: How about we just make him do it himself. No instructions. Pure confusion. That was the worst feeling of all when I was his age.
Haunter: Yeah but you've always been weird. And you're a girl. He'll understand pure violence.
Loudred: Oh don't worry fam, I got this.
Skiploom: Heh heh yes you do.
Misty: Disappointing, Dad. Though I suppose you're out of practice.
Yes Misty, you did raise yourself.
Haunter: You know there's giant chickens on this island right?
Misty: How are we related again? I'm telling Kristine you said that when I finally send her that email.
Haunter: Why haven't you sent that yet, you drag everything out!
Loudred: Oh Misty, you already are at the top of your class, surely you can take a day, go do something fun-
Misty: Dad I love you but you really don't understand what I'm about, do you?
Anika: Loud, let the kid finish her homework. How about we all go out this evening?
Loudred: Sounds like a plan! Also Piplup is coming over for the morning.
Anika: Misty, I get you, you know? How about we work on this economics essay-
Misty: Oh good God please stay six feet away, I'm not falling behind by getting sick from you.
Anika: I am very itchy...
Piplup: Ah I remember days like this...all that homework.
Misty: Yes and now it's what? Just the beach? Do you surf or something?
Piplup: Ah...no. I am not feeling great and it may have something to do with a head injury.
Loudred: You did walk into this fridge earlier didn't you son? My poor mother's fridge.
Piplup:...Thanks Dad.
Loudred: You know...I love Toxi and all but why did she gossip about her kid? I don't even know that kid...should I know that kid?
Loudred: Come onnn Misty let's go out! See the world!
Misty: I'm practicing my poetry for the eventual collection I hope to finish.
Loudred: You never even liked poetry. In fact, you complain about it a lot during homework.
Misty: Yes, and still my literature training must be robust, Father.
Piplup: Training, huh? That's pretty cool. I'll buy all your books first-day Misty.
Misty: That's very sweet. Maybe I should be nicer to the men in this family.
Skiploom: My face is not a mop! Must...beat...Haunter...
Loudred:...You're still sat here? I could never sit for so long.
Misty: OK well can you go get the mop for whatever spill that was? It smells like vodka.
Loudred: Yes yes I'm on my way. Just got distracted checking in on you.
Misty: Right! I think that's it. We can go out now, Dad.
Loudred: Yes, this looks so profound, sweetheart...you're very talented.
Misty: You're reading and dancing?
Haunter: He's not gonna make annotations, Mist. Let's go - can I bring my girlfriend?
Kristine: So this time you brought your whole family, huh?
Loudred: My beautiful Anika. Do you know why I brought you here?
Anika: I got zapped by that archive machine. Don't think I know anything right now.
Misty: Oh wow! The romance festival is starting soon!
Skiploom: Hahaha hell yeah.
Haunter: Not yet for you, squirt. Wait, why did we bring you?
Skiploom: Seriously, I'm great with girls. Well I will be when I see some, haven't really got out much.
Lyndsay:...Why am I here for this?
Misty: Goddammit Skiploom go away-
Anika: This wine list looks simply divine!
Kristine: I mean I'm more one for the cocktails.
Loudred: Did someone say cocktails? Let's see how they do a Buffalo Wing Tea.
Anika: Surely you're not old enough to drink, dear. Haunter's still our little boy-
Loudred: Anika. Please. He's YA tonight.
Misty: Writing poetry feels like dancing around a finely tuned violin...
Lyndsay:...Right.
Skiploom: She's bad at this. Right, Auntie Goldeen?
Goldeen: Good God yes. I never had hope and I'm still disappointed.
Skiploom: That's what I thought!
Misty: What is wrong with me? I need to hide.
Kristine: What's going - nah, I'm gonna go find Haunter.
Haunter: Surprise, my darling!
Kristine: Ow, my eyes. Shouldn't we do this outside?
Haunter: Nope! I'll just make Skiploom clean it!
Kristine: Isn't he a baby or something?
Meanwhile the acquaintance I brought for Misty is...
Lyndsay: *sings* I just came to say hello-
Misty:...You're still out here? Aren't you cold?
Skiploom: Yes! Freezing!
Misty: *sigh* Well I'm not making friends, let's find your coat. Also if Haunter says anything, tell him to clean that bar by himself, K?
Steven: So. We're in a club together apparently. Or you might have seen me on the GeekCon forms as CharmedLife.
Misty:...No, and that's a terrible screen name. I mean, good to see you. Meet you. I've never seen you in my life! Is this weird?
Steven: A bit. This is the romance festival. You're like sixteen.
This is one half of the Charm twins, Steven and Kolton.
Misty: So here's some of my book ideas, quick illustrations I had my little brother sketch up...what do you read again?
Haunter: Hey Steven, remember-
Steven: Nope. Nooo. Sorry Misty, not hanging around this guy.
Haunter: C'mon I stole that lunch money ages ago. It was my freshman year, he should have forgotten!
Misty: Goddammit Haunter would you go chase your girlfriend or something.
Haunter:...She went home.
Misty: You said some dumb shit didn't you?
Haunter: Yup.
Misty: Oh get over it none of you are in school anymore!
Haunter: But you are. Should you be talking to this guy?
Steven: Yeah, should you be talking to us? Kolton just got here ya know, but-
Misty: Haunter do NOT try and play the overprotective big brother here. And nobody has to talk to me! I'm putting myself out of my comfort zone so my dad will just shut up!
Misty: Steven believes you two came here to hit on me.
Steven: That is not what I said.
Kolton: Oh my gawd what did you say.
Steven: Nothing at all, just that you're pretty young!
Misty: And that means I'm stupid?
Kolton: Now that's a leap.
Misty: Ugh I know! I know! I'm just bad with people OK-
Kolton: Oh a loner? Yeah me too. I'm actively holding back the rage.
Steven: -and that guy paid £150 for an Aqua No.10 Mini Blarffy. I mean come on, what a sucker-
Kolton: He uses my fucking GeekCon account to flog this shit ya know.
Misty: Well now I do. You look mad?
Kolton: Well your brother's right here and he's a huge dick.
Misty: Yeah I live with him. I know.
Night ended soon after. It was midnight...
Toxi got married to this woman. I think she did have high school ~experience~ with women so it makes sense.
Goldeen got pregnant. I think this is one of Zubat's wife Hallie's relatives. He'd probably be cute if he had hair, sorry I deleted it Hayden.
Anika: You kids have a good night? Where is your sister, Haunter?
Haunter: I dunno, left her with some random twins. Time for my birthday I guess. Ugh, I do have to apologise to Kristine.
Anika: You are my son. I love you. But I will assume that yes, you do have to apologise for something.
Haunter: Thanks Mum.
Anika: And where is your sister?
Anika: I don't see her outside...
Misdreavus: Mum. Over here. I'm just going to die in bed now if that's OK.
Haunter: So you forgot to take a pic of my birthday, huh? Yeah it's obvious Misty is the favourite ain't it?
Sorry kid.
Haunter: No problem. Really just annoyed that I have to live with Goldeen, Goldeen's soon to be screaming baby, and Piplup. Mostly about the third thing.
Poor Pip.
Misty: *remains exhausted from last night*
Skiploom: Hey sis you wanna see some vegetarian restaurants.
Misty: Maybe in the *yawn* morning, Skip-
Skiploom: Still the best response I've got! Haunter just slapped me in the head.
Mariska: I see this is how it is once I'm gone...broken plumbing, water everywhere, children limiting their palates...
I know the shower was you, Riska.
Mariska: Heh heh. Busted. Gonna leave a note for Loudred though.
Anika: I've been watching those clothes get mildewy for months.
This is a 2-3 year hiatus point. I actually thought I had lost the rules to this challenge because the Sims 4 Forums got taken down during my hiatus, but I found them again.
Anika: And so this existence continues. More pointless meetings and laundry and so forth.
Misty's not happy with me either.
Misdreavus: You made me people.
You're an heiress! You need to.
Current heir Loudred is happy though.
Loudred: Why not be happy? Got a great wife, great life, making my family some bitchin' eggs on toast - what's the beef? No beef, because Skip is a vegetarian!
I was planning to give bespoke names to all of her books but...this default is very Misty/Elmira Clamp.
Loudred:...Son it's 10am.
Piplup: Yeah, well it's a bit loud for my very breezy vibe in that club, so I thought we could go now.
Loudred:...Is it even open?!
Piplup: Relaaax we'll get there and see. Be free, party with me
Loudred: But it's not a party, Pip. Nobody will be there.
Goldeen: Well this is certainly a welcome.
Loudred: Hold ON Goldie we have so much mail.
Goldeen: Been a few years since you checked, innit?
Loudred: No I checked yesterday.
Goldeen:...Never mind.
Goldeen: Well damn it's gotten quiet round here since Pip and I moved out.
Loudred: Yeah. Haunter was a bad egg but he brought some interest to the place. Misty is...
Misty: I can hear you guys and I consider it a compliment!
Loudred: It is too quiet. I'm itching for a party. I thought of throwing a good one to end my generation, fulfil that aspiration goal, call back to the good times, but-
Misty: That party would be my birthday party, and I've threatened to move out if he does it.
Loudred: Uh - I didn't quite mean - it's just that- a little birdie told me-
Goldeen: So what, I'm pregnant. What the kid doesn't know won't hurt 'em.
Loudred: But I think in this case the kid does know, in a way.
Loudred: You sure you don't know my kids or youngest sister? I have scoured their Simsta follow lists-
Diego: Now come on. What if you're interesting enough on your own, old timer? Maybe I'm just in the area and thought to strike up a conversation.
Loudred: Means you're a man after my own heart!
Loudred: So this is my daughter, she's pretty cool.
Misty: Dad who IS this man, he's not even in Goldeen's follow list and she follows conspiracy theory accounts. And Elliott.
Diego: I sense I'm not welcome.
Loudred: That's just her face, don't worry about that.
Diego: Wait, you're not the same girl the Charm twins were telling me about?
Misdreavus: Great. People talking about me.
Diego: Oh no, all good things.
Misty: Really?
Loudred: Yeah, really?
Misty: Right. You need to tell me exactly what the Charms said, why they said it and give some advice on how I can repeat it in the near future.
Diego:...
He did the glutton eating and she IMMEDIATELY rolled her eyes haha.
Misty: Never mind. This guy is a boor and a cretin.
Diego: GOD that's ambrosial.
Misty: It's fruit salad, it doesn't need ten dollar words. Jeez.
Skiploom:...Did anyone give you permission to rifle through our fridge or?
Diego: *gulp* Shut up, one of those is your sister's-
Do you MIND.
Skiploom: There's three bowls in total though.
Loudred: You don't have friends to-
Piplup: Goldeen laughed for three and a half minutes straight when I mentioned it-
Loudred: Whatever, go for it.
Misty: I'm trying out this 'being well-rounded' thing and I'm not anti-it. This is giving me a buzz and a good bit of inspiration!
Loudred: Goodness I feel fancy off to my job. A job, Misty.
Misty: Yes, dad, I still can't quite believe it...your shirt's untucked at the back again.
Loudred: Aw, thanks. What would I do without you?
Skiploom: Hey is the room spinning, or is it just me? Giraffe...hey, raffy, answer me.
Goddamn the plague is upon this house.
You know what would be nice? If vegetarian sims took vegetarian food out of the fridge by default when I pressed 'get leftovers'.
Skiploom: This sandwich tastes like sadness and murder :(
Misty: What do you think the B in BLT stands for, Skip.
Misty had writers block and wanted to read something so I had her read the biography Raj wrote.
Misty: Damn OK Grandma and Granddad were actually badasses in the kitchen. This is high octane stuff! Could be my next screenplay. The Lion, how's that sound?
Loudred: They call me line cook now. I know a thing or two about-
No you don't. I never wrote your parties like that.
Loudred:...I just wanted to make a joke. Before the inevitable end to my time in the spotlight that's been foreshadowed for about half this generation.
One more chapter. I think it is mostly about Misty though.
Loudred: Figures.
Next time, Misty will FINALLY grow up and we will start the Elmira generation.
